enthralling soundscapes, sparse beats and a hazy piano - the new album from pianist, composer and improviser fabrizio rat.

fabrizio rat starts his own techno label la machina. the label will be the platform for music oriented to the dancefloor as well as to the mind. the first release, the double bind ep, includes 4 tracks of uncompromising analog techno, labyrinthine sequences, hypnotic textures and banging beats mixing modular synths melodies, drum machines and acoustic piano sounds. on the b side, a phenakistoscope completes the experience, as the artwork animates when the record turns. hand and mechanism, oscillator and string, man and machine have rarely been so close.

following three eps and one lp fabrizio rat releases his second solo album on odd/even, german label by andre kronert. the album is conceived entirely for the dancefloor, with no rest and no breathe, no ambient or >quiet< tracks. melodies emerge at times, resulting from original orchestrations of piano and machines. at other times more violent and static textures explore the extreme repetitions of piano harmonics, combined with slowly evolving filter-sweeping hypnosis. outstanding coverprint. shrinked and dj friendly 140g pressing. mastering and cut by cgb at dubplates and mastering. artwork by markus suckut and cover picture by fabrizio rat himself. manufactured by matter of fact.
